I’ve been thinking about this little cookbook.
The ladies of the Friendship Circle of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Clovis, N. M. put it together in 1973. We moved to Clovis two weeks after I graduated from high school in 1971.
Mom contributed several of her “go to” recipes for the cookbook. I’ll be posting those recipes here for the next few weeks.
Usually I try to prepare the recipe I’m posting and take a picture or two, but today I can be lazy because I have some pictures I took back in 1999 when I thought about making a family cookbook.
I could get in serious trouble for including this picture of my daughter making meatloaf back in ’99, but since my kids never read my blog, maybe I’m safe.
Shhh! Don’t tell!
When mom served her meatloaf, the menu almost always included mashed potatoes and green peas, so that’s how I always serve it too.
Not long after my husband and I married, one of his high school buddies came for dinner. After dinner he told me that he really wasn’t a fan of meatloaf, but that this was good.
I think he meant it…. I should ask him.
Mashed potatoes are a classic side with meatloaf. It’s cool that you have pictures of your kids in the kitchen.
Yeah, I have a few that I took thinking we would make this cookbook together. At the time they posed willingly, but I don’t know how many I can get away with here. Have them for myself though.
I love your Family Recipe Friday idea! I love to see and collect recipes, so this is really fun.
I’m looking forward to adding more. Haven’t decided what’s next…
